Bratz: Sailor Moon Style
Chapter two
Two year later.
Usagi Tsukino got ready for school and grabbed a slice of toast and her bag on the way out the door. As always, her boyfriend was waiting outside with his motorcycle.
"Hey!" She said, kissing him. Mamoru smiled and kissed her back, then handed her a helmet. When they got to the school, it was time for the back to school assembly that they had every year. Usagi and Mamoru sat in the front, and noticed Mio glowering at them, which she had done ever since Mamoru had begun dating Usagi.
"All right, we can sit down now. Let's sit down" Principle Kuroki said. "Well, well, well, welcome back to another wonderful year at Jubann High School. And now, without further ado I'm going to introduce to you your very popular President of the Student Body, my daughter, Kuroki Mio" Mio took the microphone and smiled at the students.
"Good morning. I am so thrilled to be here as your student body president once again. I am here to talk about the talent show, which I will be heading up again. And the fact that besides the coveted Golden Hatchet, our wonderful arts committee is providing a spectacular grand prize this semester: A college scholarship to the school of your choice! Isn't that amazing? So don't forget to audition"
Later that day, Usagi was in the bathroom putting on lip gloss when Rei walked in. There was an awkward silence.
"Hey" Usagi said quietly.
"Hi" Rei replied back. She noticed the gloss. "Oh, good gloss. Peach party?"
"Yeah! I just got it!" Usagi said.
"You like it?" Rei asked. Usagi nodded.
"I love it" She replied. Rei washed her hands and then left the bathroom, leaving Usagi to lean against the sink. "I miss you" She whispered. She almost wished there was an enemy to fight, so they'd at least have to be together for that. She wondered how things had gone so wrong.
"So what're you gonna do for the talent show this year, Mio?" Beruche asked as they walked through the lunchroom courtyard.
"It doesn't matter. You know she's gonna win" Kooan said, smirking.
"Just because I'm going to win doesn't mean that I don't owe all of my fans a really cool show" Mio reminded them. She looked up and noticed Mamoru and Usagi coming down the steps together, both holding food. She scowled and picked up an orange. Making sure that no one saw her, she threw the orange, with perfect aim, towards Usagi's foot. Usagi stumbled and her tray tipped over, dropping food right on top of Rei, who was passing by underneath.
"Usagi!" Rei screeched. "You are the biggest klutz ever! You always ruin everything..." She slipped and fell halfway into a rolling garbage can, which rolled backwards. "Usagi!" She screeched. The trashcan hit a post and her tray went flying, landing right on Minako and her cheerleading outfit.
"Oh, my gosh. I am so sorry" Rei said, climbing out of the can.
"Oh! No! You didn't! Rei, you totally did that on purpose!" Minako said, taking a step forward, accidently kicking a lone skateboard into the pathway of Makoto who tripped and landed smack dab into her tray of food. Makoto stood up angrily.
"Minako! You stupid... cheerleader!" She cried.
"You did not just say that!" Minako snapped.
"You know what? You're not as bad as people say you are. You're worse!" Makoto said, picking up a tray and hurling it right at Minako.
"Food fight!" A freshman shouted. A food fight broke out until Principal Kuroki came out to the courtyard and the four girls who had been primarily fighting with each other were placed in detention. Ami slipped into the detention hall, undetected.
"You started it, clumsy!" Rei snapped.
"I tripped" Usagi snapped back. "Excuse me, Princess Perfect"
"That is so like you!" Minako said. "You've always been the queen of denial!"
"You know what?" Rei snapped. "Neither one of you ever thinks anything through. It's always me having to pick up the pieces"
"That's interesting" Minako snarled. "We haven't talked in two years. Ever since you dumped us to be a home ec geek!"
"Me?" Rei asked with a harsh laugh. "You haven't spoken to any of us
since you went all cheerleader. I'm not a snob, I'm just better than you are, yeah!" She mocked.
"I didn't stop talking to you, you stopped talking to me" Minako declared.
"What're you talking about, Minako?" Makoto snapped. "At least we don't buy our friends with our daddy's bank account"
"Only because you don't have a dad or a bank account!" Minako shouted.
"Stop it!" Ami suddenly shouted, coming into view. "All of you, just stop it" She placed her hands on her hips and shook her head. "I can't believe you said that to Makoto"
"That's okay" Makoto said softly.
"No. It's not" Usagi said softly. She turned to look at Minako. "Makoto has always been there for you, don't forget that Minako"
"Mako-chan" Minako said, going over to the jock. "I'm sorry. Can't believe I said that"
"What happened to us?" Ami asked. "We were a team. We always had each other's backs. Sailor Senshi forever, remember?" The other girls began nodding.
"Seriously. Like when you canceled your ski trip to help Usagi study for finals" Rei said.
"That's what friends do" Ami said quietly. "What about you, Usagi? Remember, you completely crushed those girls that used to slam Rei for being a priestess"
"Well, she would've done the same for me. Big deal" Usagi shrugged.
"It is a big deal" Ami insisted. "Friendship is a big deal. When I became Darkury, you tried to get me back instead of destroying me. That's what true friends do!"
"Why aren't we friends anymore?" Makoto asked.
"I can't even remember" Usagi shook her head.
"It's the cliques. We're all in them" Ami said quietly. "That's just how high school works. Minako, you're a cheerleader, Makoto's a jock, Rei spends her time with the home ec geeks and I try to balance all my science and math clubs and Usagi has a gorgeous boyfriend" Usagi blushed.
"So... what do we do?" Minako asked.
"We have to take control of our lives, of our friendships. It's our own fault. We can be friends with each other and do our own thing, right?" Ami asked.
"Okay. How?" Usagi asked.
"We be ourselves, just like we used to be" Ami replied.
"I miss my neesans" Minako said. They gathered in a group hug, then sprang apart, remembering that they were covered in food.
"BFFs?" Ami asked.
"BFFs!" The rest of them shouted.
